Softly As I Leave You
Softly, I will leave you softlyFor my heart would breakIf you should wake and see me goSo I leave you softlyLong before you miss meLong before your arms can beg me stayFor one more hour or one more dayAfter all the yearsI can't bear the tears to fallSo softly as I leave you there
I will leave youLong before your arms can beg me stayFor one more dayAfter all the years I can't bear the tears to fallSoftly as I leave you there
